• N4 expands to about 300 kanji and introduces basic grammar structures for casual conversation.
• N3 demands familiarity with 650 kanji and comprehension of standard written and spoken material.
• N2 involves roughly 1,000 kanji and understanding nuanced content from newspapers, magazines, or workplace settings.
• N1 tests near-native fluency with approximately 2,000 kanji and the capacity to understand abstract or specialised material.

These levels give you clear milestones to track your progress and set realistic study goals.

Japanese lessons in Drummoyne typically cost around $41/h per session.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The tutor's expertise and credentials (diplomas, years in education)
• The duration and frequency of lessons (single sessions, weekly packages, intensive blocks)
• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the teacher's location)

Some teachers offer discounted rates for bulk bookings, which can reduce the long-term cost.

The language relies on hiragana for native words, katakana for foreign terms, and kanji for meaning-based characters.

• Hiragana consists of 46 basic characters representing syllables like "ka," "mi," or "su," and it forms the backbone of grammar.
• Katakana also has 46 characters but uses angular strokes to write foreign loanwords, technical terms, and onomatopoeia.
• Kanji represent concepts or objects directly; for example, 山 means "mountain" and can be read as "yama" or "san."

Mastering all three systems lets you read signs, menus, newspapers, and novels without relying on romanisation.

Start with hiragana and katakana (they take a few weeks), then gradually build your kanji repertoire over time.
